Introduction

This document describes the integration of the delivered EtherCAT example projects for ST STM32F411x target with the development environment STM32CubeIDE.

...

The port EtherCAT stack is implemented and tested with ST STM32F411RE-Nucleo board connected with a Trinamic TM8462 EtherCAT® slave controller, on board TMC8462-EVAL v3.1 (connected via SPI interface). The connection to the EtherCAT board is implemented using simple connector cables.

...

Toolchain:

Compiler/IDE: GNU ARM Embedded v10.3 used in STM32CubeIDE Version: 1.8.0
Flash tool/Debugger: Onboard ST-Link

...

PA0 ---> PDI-IRQ

PA1 ---> SYNC0 (neccessary for DC feature)

In addition, the power supply of the TMC8462-EVAL board is received from the Nucleo board (5V, GND) show in the picture above. This works, but it is better to supply the TMC8462-EVAL board with an external voltage source. In any case, the GND of both boards should be connected for a common ground.

For further driver informations please read ../drivers/st_stm32f411x/README.txt

...

Then you can build and run the example projects.

ICC tool project

The sample projects are designed with port’s ICC tool. The HW configuration uses the generic STM32 entry with SPI slave ESC interface. Shown here for example s1:

Please use this setting also for your own customer projects.
